Chapter 168 The Logic of Radicals
Asahina Mikuru walked out of the club building quickly and looked around nervously and confusedly.

Although it was not yet time for compulsory departure, the campus of the Prefectural North High School had already become somewhat empty and quiet, and it looked a bit deserted at first glance.

Only in the distant sports field were there a few lonely figures sweating...

They should be members of some clubs that really love sports, or maybe they are sports students who are settling down...

She was thinking about this, her mind was in a state of panic. However, she also subconsciously looked around quickly, but she couldn't find Nagato Yuki. Obviously, the literary girl just walked out of the activity room first.

She was just a few seconds late, and when she came out, the person was gone. It was as if he had been teleported away, or disappeared from the face of the earth.

——Where did you go?

——How come you run so fast?
For a moment, Asahina Mikuru couldn't tell whether she was lucky or nervous about this development, or maybe both... She was lucky because she didn't have to travel with Nagato Yuki. After all, she was still very afraid of this alien classmate and felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

As for the nervousness, it was because the "Time Plane Destroyed Device" in her brain had lit up a red light and sounded the alarm. Although only she could hear the rapid and piercing alarm, it was as powerful and long-lasting as an air raid siren.

This was also the main reason why she was panicked and terrified.

This kind of invisible mechanical device, which uses future technology and is rooted in the brains of future people, is not something that everyone can possess.

Because it is already one of the most advanced black technologies that future human civilization will possess.

Its essence is a time machine that can be used to travel through the past and the future, but it also carries the risk of destroying the existing time plane, so it must be strictly reviewed and approved before use. In the future, a special profession has been derived from this, called "Time Dispatcher".

The main task of this profession is to repair the time distortion caused by the use of the time machine.

Strictly speaking, Asahina Mikuru is a time dispatcher... although her situation is rather special, and the tasks and situations she faces are unprecedentedly difficult.

But because of this, the time machine she implanted was naturally a special version. Therefore, it could detect the signs of the collapse of the timeline and directly issue an early warning, allowing her to react immediately.

And such a high-intensity alarm——

It also indicates that the precursor to the collapse that occurred this time should not be underestimated.

Asahina Mikuru pursed her lips tightly, feeling an indescribable panic, her face turned pale. She didn't know what to do. If she could act together with Nagato-san at this time, she would surely have some confidence.

After all, in terms of the intensity of the alarm, this is basically the level at which the "Final Trial of Humanity" is about to appear... But at this time, these trials that are designed to destroy humanity should not have appeared yet.

"Primate Killer"...

“The Law of Historical Cycles”…

“Super artificial intelligence”…

These trials that require civilization to overcome, and the destiny that requires humans to respond, are probably not even something we have yet to even understand.

Then the answer is self-evident. It can only be the devil who created all this! It must be some kind of cross-border behavior of his that triggered such an alarm!
So, where is it? Asahina Mikuru was a little unsure for a moment. The person now must not be in the school. Otherwise, if he just stayed in the office and did nothing, it shouldn't cause the timeline to collapse inexplicably.

Calm down! Calm down!

Asahina Mikuru took a deep breath, and with a sad face, she tried her best to force herself to calm down, and tried very hard to think seriously.

It seems that not long ago, when Teacher Xia Zhi left the SOS Headquarters, the transfer student Koizumi Kazuki also followed him out. At that time, the two of them should have been looking for an opportunity to contact each other... Could this be the reason?

Is it because of the super-powered people that distortion is about to occur?

Frankly speaking, it is reasonable for her to have such doubts, and there is nothing wrong with thinking like this.

only--

“Sizzle… Don’t… Look for Koizumi Kazuki… Sizzle…”

The communication was suddenly connected, and a tired voice came from the other side, but unlike the clear and stable signal transmission in the past, it was obviously mixed with some unknown interference.

"This matter... sizzle... has nothing to do with people with superpowers. It's mainly... sizzle... aliens..."

what!
Asahina Mikuru was slightly stunned, and then she was ecstatic, as if she had found a savior, and hurriedly tried to contact her superior on the other end of the communication. Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to contact, the other end fell silent, and no signal was transmitted.

"Well……"

Asahina Mikuru made the sound of a puppy biting the corner of a person's clothes, and felt like she had lost her backbone again.

But in this situation, she couldn't afford to delay here. Time distortion would affect the signal transmission of future communications. This was a situation she might have to face at any time, and it had been written into the employee's work code when she joined the company.

So now, she must act according to her own judgment.

In her confused thoughts, Asahina Mikuru continued to force herself to think, trying to piece together some useful information from the fragmented words just now. The superior did not provide much information, but denied the suspicion of the psychic and proposed a new suspect candidate.

Although the words were not finished, they should be directed at the aliens.

and so……

Could it still be Asakura Ryoko?

But after being stopped last time, she probably wouldn't have another chance, right? Judging from the established historical events, she probably couldn't find a better opportunity, and after getting tired of the unchanging observation, she tried to kill Axu to see if it would cause any changes.

But the action was not successful, and she disappeared...

According to the information available in later generations, she transferred to another school the next day because of family matters. The whole process was full of mystery. Later scholars tended to believe that the transfer was just a cover to explain Asakura Ryoko's whereabouts. She should have been eliminated at that time...

Asahina Mikuru's mind naturally popped up such knowledge points, and she couldn't help biting her lip. If this was true, what caused the change in the established matters? And she was a little careless, thinking that after maintaining that node, she didn't need to pay too much attention.

What should we do now……

Or could we wait for news from Nagato-san? Because she must have dealt with it.

But isn't it irresponsible to leave the fate of future people entirely to Nagato-san? I can't just do nothing, can I?
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to run.

"Please come in——"

Room 505 on the fifth floor of a detached apartment in Koyoen Nishiyama-cho.

A beautiful top student with waist-length blue hair opened the door and with a smile invited the strange male teacher whom she had just become familiar with, or even just met, not long ago, to enter the place where she lived alone. This scene seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

But she didn't care at all, and instead assured me earnestly: "Don't worry, the place where I live is very safe and secret, and no one will stop our in-depth cooperation in the future."

"Hmm...what you said doesn't sound good."

Xia Zhi touched his chin. He felt that this scene seemed a little strange just now. Now with Asakura Ryoko's guarantee, it seemed even stranger.

"I'm not talking nonsense... This is the waiting place I've been using for three years." Asakura Ryoko thought he didn't believe her, so she explained seriously, "The level of information blockade and connection is high enough, and the confidentiality is strong enough. It can't be compared to the information space that was temporarily closed that day..."

"Even if it's Nagato, she can't easily break through the blockade now that we both have equal authority."

It's probably Ryoko Asakura's Magic Studio, but it's an information version.

Moreover, it is not the result of a temporary transformation, but a workshop that has been in operation for three years, so its defense and confidentiality capabilities are maximized.

That’s basically what it means.

This is also the best option that Ryoko Asakura thinks, and it is very suitable for the next negotiation venue.

Xia Zhi didn't think too much about it, and walked in casually, glancing around. Asakura Ryoko's residence was better laid out than Nagato Yuki's apartment. Although it was also simple, it was not so simple that it was empty. It felt like it had some warmth and life.

I just don't know how much of it is fake.

"Please have some tea. Would you like some snacks?" The beautiful girl with waist-length blue hair served the snacks very attentively, revealing a gentle smile as impeccable as a Yamato Nadeshiko. "If you want to eat anything, you can tell me. I am quite confident in this aspect."

"Thank you, but that's enough—"

Xia Zhi waved his hand gently, and he didn't delay and went straight to the point -

"Let's get down to business now... You said before that you would introduce me to your radical ideas. Now you can tell me what kind of radical ideas you have."

"Well……"

Standing there very gracefully, the graceful girl thought for a moment and decided that it would be best to be cautious.

Sometimes, people think they are radicals because they have never seen a real radical. When they really see a radical, they will find that they are actually very conservative... She must take this into account, especially under the premise that this person's emotional model cannot be accurately predicted.

It seems to be close to humans and can understand humans...

However, his inner self is obviously different from that of humans, and in some aspects he displays inhuman values...

She thought quickly and said with a smile, "We radicals don't actually consider ourselves radicals. It's just that compared to the mainstream view within the current information integration body, we don't agree with the principle of non-interference... because three years have passed since we simply observed Suzumiya Haruhi, but we haven't found anything."

First, define the personality of your faction, stating that your faction is only opposed to the principle of non-intervention, which is why it is called a radical faction.

In this way, we can attack or defend.

After all, it is true that they support intervention in principle, but it can also be broken down further to see to what extent they want to intervene. Radicalism and conservatism often lie in the "degree" of this.

"Considering the length of your life, three years is only enough. You shouldn't lose your patience, right?"

The young man seemed to be thinking about something.

"Indeed, it's only three years, that's nothing, we certainly have enough time and patience..." Asakura Ryoko smiled lightly, but her eyes were a little dark, "But, Suzumiya Haruhi may not have this time and patience, our faction's suspicion window period is about to pass."

"Hmm?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Three years have passed. Following that information explosion, we have not observed any more interesting phenomena. Instead, we have discovered that compared to three years ago, Suzumiya Haruhi's stormy spirit is becoming more stable..."

The girl spoke elegantly, frankly revealing the considerations of the faction behind her—

"We have to realize the fact that Suzumiya Haruhi's time is limited. If we wait until her mind is completely settled, she accepts reality and no longer has expectations for the information environment around her..."

"So--"

"We may be about to lose this precious possibility."
